Have an awesome experience today, learning and playing curling. It was my first time to play this Olympic sport and it was doubly exciting because our instructor was no less than a Swedish curling gold medalist...... The sport was, initially, scary because the "rock" was heavy I could not lift it, the iced-court was slippery I have difficulty in balancing and I have apprehensions I could not push the rock to the base at the other end of the court. Each rock weighs approximately 20k. Training of the game was short; we were only taught how to play it minutes before our friendly competition begins. Lucky enough though, my first throw was a good one, it was close to the eye of the target...it was our team's first point everybody in our group was rejoicing. We were four in our team and each of us has to throw two rocks each. There were two sets of game and just as I have learned to play properly and appreciated it... the competition was over... Yeh, a moment to learn, a moment to appreciate and it was over...there was no time to savor the new sport I have learned and the camaraderie developed among my teammates. I wish we could have played more.....
